My dads side
UPS:
It had some great call backs to the original and none of the old meets new seemed forced. Sets up well for a sequel, which would be welcomed. There were enough jump scares to keep the kids on their toes without it being too much for them.
Blue Beetle (2023)
Blue beetle is the bruce!!!
So the the movie was very nice to watch and me and my dad enjoyed the film:the soundtrack,the balance between drama and action and the design of the blue beetle suit. Now the action scenes were awesome and dramatic to watch and it was very entertaining,my dad will now share what he thought. L (age 10)
Blue Beetle is a solid movie but lacking a strong storyline. That said it does give a decent amount of time to character development which makes up for the well trodden story. The effects are good and the action is well paced and enjoyable. Ultimately, it's a fun Saturday night popcorn movie but it doesn't set up the new DCU world too well.
Deadstream (2022)
Bitterly disappointed by the hype
I really wanted to like this film and was signposted to it by numerous great reviews on Instagram and on IMBD.
All the promise of "if Sam Raimi knew about social media this is what he'd have made" is outrageous.
To be fair I liked the premise as a spin on the Haunted House trope and the lead is good although the screaming becomes a little tedious. This along with the clever devise of using remote cams (which were underused) it could have been a great indie movie.
However......it's less of an homage to Raimi but more of a rip off. The SFX (calling them "special" is probably being too kind) was absolutely woeful. Really, really bad. For what Raimi achieved 40 years ago it's an insult to compare the two given they both had minuscule budgets.
This movie touched on some great ideas that if they were fully developed could have been great. But it didn't, and it's not.
Having spent the year being so saturated with under par Horror movies this really is the bottom of the barrel. Please don't waste your time or believe the 8 or 9 out of 10 ratings. I always take ratings with a pinch of salt when it comes to Horror as it's a very subjective genre, but this is a bad, bad, bad film.
